Maybe I'm just a quick learner, but I can't see how Google Apps would require all that much training. Like everything of Google's that I've tried (with the exception of Google Ads, whose pricing structure remains mysterious), I found it had almost no learning curve whatsoever.
Am I really that much smarter than the people who work at the FAA?
Good, glad to see I'm not the only one wondering why Scribus hasn't been mentioned (even if the other person is an AC).
I publish a PDF magazine, I wouldn't use anything except Scribus to lay it out. I'm considering a print-CSS version, but I'm confused why anyone would make a print-CSS version and then convert it to PDF. To me, this seems to miss the point of both formats.
and nobody wants a book somebody else has already broken in
What are you talking about? I love used books. A well-worn book is one that people have found worth reading more than once. And we all know the advantages of buying used textbooks, back in college.
Next time I want to see the display actually roll up into a cylinder
Yes! I want to carry my information wrapped around a cylinder. Then writing will truly have come full circle.
Actually, now that I think about it, there was an earlier form of writing than scrolls: writing on a "tablet" with a "stylus." However, this was before the invention of pockets.
What's wrong with this summary?

Case in point: a few days ago someone emailed me a DOC file. Why isn't there an option to open it in D&S?
In your account, look at the upload page. There's an email address there that you can use to email stuff into your D&S space. So, you could simply forward the message to your upload address. It's not "one-click," but it's still pretty easy -- and it doesn't require you to make use of the local computer.
Also, when you do have a document open in D&S, why isn't there an option to email a copy to someone?
I suggested this to Google when they asked me to take a survey on D&S. I called it "Save as attachment." If you can email in, why not out?
For the record, I also suggested they dovetail the translation service into the document upload function, so that translations wouldn't be stripped of their formatting, the way they are now.
Google for it, and then use the "View as HTML" option. Considering that it's a very long document, use "search as you type" (also known as Control-F) to jump to what you're looking for.
Alternatively, download the document, and email it to yourself. Assuming you have Gmail, that is.
Perhaps I should specify that I'm writing this on a Dell, and my sixth Mac is sitting across the room. I'm willing to pay good money for good stuff. But the iPhone, cool as it is, just isn't worth $500 to me.

I never understood the phrase "first-person shooter." What else could it be? If it wasn't first person, it wouldn't be a game. It would be television.
Duuuuuuuuude!
So -- and this is a real question -- what sort of application would this device be suited for?
Nano?
Hey, it could be worse. I thought they were swapping tuberculosis.

Because otherwise, that would have been the most unintelligible headline I've ever seen on Slashdot.
Thanks for the tip. All this time, I'd been pronouncing "C" as "one hundred."
I saw the Einstein logo and read the headline as "Relativity reaches an newe low." I was very confused -- when did relativity become variable?

There's something not right, here...
Something not up to Slashdot standards...
Ah... there's no "dept." caption/commentary!
a nano-walker if you wish.
I don't. Now what?

Ya lo sabía! Es una ventaja más de ser bilingüe entre las muchas que ya hay.
Question is, is it laser-proof?
Oh, wait. The stormtrooper suits weren't laser-proof. Does anyone else find that to be a bit of an oversight?
Of each and every thing ask what is it in itself?

And I have no comment on their lack of plans.

...and the iPhone is exactly what I want. But I'm not buying it. It's cool, but it's not $500 cool.
I'll probably buy a cheap-o model and wait. Someone let me know when there's an unlocked model for $250.
a download would be the only song to crack the Top 40.
